12 left till 42...
I think this is a suitable question...

Q:What is the Hindu word for "Work" or "Deeds"? (It's The same word)

Stumped?
It starts with 'K'

Karma means actions. Is that what you wanted?

Yep, that's the word...

Q: What country has the worlds oldest national flag?

Guessing wildly because, well, why not?

Denmark - It fell out of the sky.

It fell out the sky?

Q: Name the first submarine to surface at the North Pole

Yes, there is a legend that it fell out of the sky to the hand of the Danish king in the 13th century as a sign of divine approval, and he then won some battle in Estonia. (Wouldn't quote that explanation though, as may have got mixed up!)

Did Nautilus surface?

It may have, but it wasn't the first sub there...

Just going back a bit, the Saltire of Scotland (or St. Andrew's Cross as its also known) is the oldest flag in the world. It appeared in the sky to a mixed force of Picts and Scots under Angus Mac Fergus and Eochaidh in 832ad prior to what became known as the battle of Athelstaneford against Athelstane of Northumbria.

Following the victory, and the subsequent unification of Scotland by Mac Fergus, the white cross on the azure ground was adopted as the flag of Scotland, and Andrew as our Patron Saint.

So there.

Perseus

Fine.. you drive a tough bargain though...

The USS Skate.
